Macintosh Multithreading
I do think that the Macintosh has had a multi-processing operating system, since the 9500MPs came out, and after A *LOT* of consideration, I am not sure that I really understand the definition.
I would hope that the definition of a multi-processing OS include, support for more than 2 processors, and have both the ability of manage itself across processorsr, and allow applications to acces those processors.
I do not think that threads are nessesary, as either earlier implimentations of MPOSs didn't have them, and that further progress could be made in the future, that didn't include them.
I will in further posts talk about Macintosh technology, but I aint no Apple Polisher either. ( This post coming from a 900Mhz Athlon )
